His legal mind saw 30 clearly what the
verdict ought to be that he used the most
unmistakable language. He said "the
Court instructs you that upon the defend
ants own testimony Harper has commit
ted crime as described in the statute un-
der which he is indicted" The charge was
In writing, except that portion in which
he reviewed the testimony. 1t was deliv-
cred with great earnestness. The jury was
moved from its position on the side of the
room 20 the space directly in front OF the
Court, thus removing Mrs. Harper and her
babe from their view, and allowing the
Court to speak to them with no hindrance
whatever. Harper and Blackburn sat IN
the corner of the room on the right. Near
them were several officers ready for any
emergency.
When the charge was ended Harper was
Tor time almost alone. Then Mrs. Hsr-
per brought her babe and sat beside him.
Miss Matthews and Mr.. Matthews came
also, and the family group sat silent and
fearful, but with no outbursts. Soon Mr.
Harper was removed from the court room.
Later ii was agreed to adjourn the court
until Monday, when the jury's verdict
will be received, II they are then ready.
Judge Jackson has been universally COM
mended throughout the trial for his fair
ness, his thorough grasping Of the whole
case, his ready rulings, and for
his lucid charge to the jury.
No exceptions have been taken for
the reason that there is no appeal from
this court, but really there has been no
disposition to question the rulings made.
Judge Sage, who sat with Judge Jackson,
has concurred in all the rulings made, so
that no opportunity exists for rehear-
ing.
The District Attorney, Mr.. BurRet, has
made an exhaustive examination of the
statutes and the presidents, and has
reached the conclusion which, it is under
stood, is shared by the court, that there is
no authority for a sentence on each of the
thirty-three counts, il he should be found
guilty on all. The sentence, therefore,
cannot be for longer term than ten years,
and this may be shortened by good coo-
duct to seven years, five months and ten
days.

THE COMING G. A. r. MEETING.
The Kansas Veterans Are Inclined to Remain
at Home Because of High Railway Rates.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. THE refusal OF the
rate requested by the transportation committee
of the Grand Army to the nation al encampment
at St Louis has had its effect on Kansas
enthusiasm, so far as the st. Louis meeting is
concerned. Under similar circumstances. few
States can boast more liberal veterans and more
enthusiasm among her old soldiers than Kansas.
The refusal of the railroad rate asked has
created a great deal of indifference. The refusal

From an almost absolute monarch, the King
has been relegated to the position of
what is virtually an automatic great

the kingdom will resemble nothing more COM
